Answer 1

1, When i read the Hippocratic oath it resembling old history, as a medical professional hippocratic oath tell us to treat the ill to be the best of one's ability to protect patient privacy and explaining about the medical treatment which helps them to improve their knowledge and never do harm to any patients and treat them as a humans..This type of oath make us to improve the ability and judgement that useful in our medical practice..it make us to take oath for protecting patient privacy,how to treat patient when they chronically ill..i mentioned about medical confidentiality and non-maleficence..
This western culture ethical principles mention about holy things that confidentiality,but this oath prohibits some medical procedures like abortion which is not applicable for this century to consider mothers health..oath is important for medical practice which each physician taking oath and pledge when they completing their graduation..modern oath taken by doctors now it is not original hippocratic oath,each doctors in medical school thay take hippocratic oath they promised as 'do not harm 'for patients.
2, In some extend doctors do not follow there oath to protect themselves and organization..they have to think of their oaths and provide service to protect organization and patients..they have to serve for humanity.. Modemizing the hippocratic oath the medical community changed the oath as whatever each of us holds most served,the core values of the oath have promise in the best interest of the patient and to protect their privacy..this oath remains the physician treat them not just the disease,think them as a whole person..
